The Río Baker is Chile's most voluminous river by flow, carving a dramatic path through the Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Region in northern Patagonia. Fed by glacially-tinged waters from Lago General Carrera and other Andean sources, the Baker runs turquoise and powerful through one of the most breathtaking valleys in all of South America. Its strong currents, crystalline clarity, and wild, undammed character — preserved after a landmark 2014 conservation campaign defeated a massive hydroelectric project — make it a bucket-list destination for fly fishers from around the world. The river's remote setting, framed by snow-capped peaks and ancient forests, provides a backdrop that is as unforgettable as the fishing itself.
